This will be of special interest to anyone over the age of 30 [or anyone who also remembers Laugh-In]. Cartoon Network now has a program called "Boomerang" in which they repeat kids shows from the late 50's thru the mid 70's.
Today at 5pm and 1am they are showing an episode of "Banana Splits." While the actual program content now seems pretty lame, the credits [especially the end] do have some pretty cool footage of a very early Six Flags over Texas and the soon-to-be-history Coney Island in Cincinnati.
Enjoy ;-)

Since it's "on topic", time for a not-so-shameless plug...and it's not even for PPG. Watch Adult Swim on cartoon network...http://www.adultswim.com
Of particular interest are: Home Movies, Baby Blues, Space Ghost Coast to Coast (with WAY funny interviews), and my new fav, Aqua Teen Hunger Force...Meatwad is "da bomb"....:)
Man, I was hoping it would be that kind of swim...

Gator - I love Adult Swim!
Jeff - you have a kid, you're not allowed to think dirty anymore ;-)
chris - is it just me or was 'Banana Splits' created by someone on acid?
I'll throw this one out to everyone - not to brag, but I'm related to the Witchiepoo [well, the actress who portrayed her at least].

Kick-the-Sky - believe me I didn't figure out the park footage from memory and to be honest I'd always assumed if was PKI, too, for the very same reason [damn you, Mike Brady!].
Cricket - SFOT and Coney are the only parks listed in the end credits.
As long as we're reminiscing, anyone remember Martha Raye on "The Bugaloos" ???
